Classes Workshops Achievement Testing
Write Worthy works in partnership with home schools
Writing Classes Write Worthy classes provide a writing curriculum that allows your child to go deep - spending an entire year working toward mastery and learning to enjoy writing within a particular structure. We've experienced great success with teaching writing with this immersion approach, and invite you to explore what Write Worthy has to offer. The year-long classes provide ongoing lessons, curriculum, and support for teaching writing at home. Write Worthy students enjoy the group activities and friendships with classmates, and they benefit by the instruction from and accountability to a professional teacher. Meanwhile, parents appreciate assignments for home school lessons and a teacher's ongoing support. To round-off the classroom experience, we also enjoy creating a yearbook, going on field trips, and delighting our families with a big year-end student presentation. Classes meet for two hours, once a week, mid-September through late May. Follow the links on the Classes page, and contact us for more information.

An achievement test can be a helpful tool for home school parents. Besides testing for the State requirement in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10, many home schooling families test every year. For students, it provides valuable experience and practice with a formal test environment as well as accountability for the subject matter of the school year. (Some families use the test date as a marker for the end of the school year / graduation to the next grade level.) For parents, the measurement of achievement provides peace in knowing that acceptable progress is being accomplished through their home schooling efforts. At Write Worthy, we offer the CAT each spring and summer. Students take the test in a small group (or privately) in our home classroom - softening the formality of an achievement test with an environment that feels safe and relaxed. The testing fee, of just $35, covers the group test session, test scores (mailed to parents, with an extra copy for ESD, if needed), and a diagnostic profile. The profile, which provides a list of skills covered on the test with the items the student missed identified, is valuable for home schooling parents. Follow the links on the Testing page for more information about tests available and tips for test preparation. Choose a date and contact us for reservations.
